Important safety notice

Settings are starting points — always run a test cut on scrap before your final piece. Follow your manufacturer's guidance, wear eye protection, and ensure proper ventilation.

Passes

For walnut plywood, 4 passes are not necessary. In my tests, the material cuts completely and can be separated after 2 passes. Using additional passes may actually cause problems, as the piece can become loose after the second pass and slightly move out of position, preventing the laser from following the original cut path correctly. I recommend using 2 passes for a cleaner and more reliable cut.
